Tools > Create Font unable to disable smoothing on macOS

Created by: kylemcdonald

Description

When using createFont() or the Create Font tool to create a PFont for a bitmap pixel font with smoothing disabled, there are still grays in the generated font.

Expected Behavior

Created by thresholding the result in Photoshop:

Current Behavior

Generated directly by Processing:

Steps to Reproduce

Here is a link to the font I am using: sg08.zip

PFont font;

void setup() {
  size(512, 512);
  font = createFont("SHAKAGRAPHICS08", 8, false);
  noSmooth();
  textFont(font, 8);
  textAlign(LEFT, TOP);
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  fill(0);
  noStroke();
  String str = "Forsaking monastic tradition,\ntwelve jovial friars gave up\ntheir vocation for a questionable\nexistence on the flying trapeze.";
  text(str, 20, 20);
}

Your Environment

• Processing version: 4.0b1
• Operating System and OS version: MacOS 11.6

Possible Causes / Solutions

I did some basic checks to see that this is happening at font generation time, and not in the rendering. I don't know the Processing internals enough to advise beyond this. Last time I tried this font was circa 2011 and I know it worked correctly Processing back then :)

Reproduce el problema en macOS con la fuente sg08.zip proporcionada y el sketch que usa createFont("SHAKAGRAPHICS08", 8, false). Rastrea la ruta de generación de fuentes de la herramienta Create Font y de createFont() para determinar dónde se introduce el suavizado. Se considera terminado cuando la fuente bitmap generada no tiene píxeles grises no intencionados con el suavizado desactivado, mientras que el comportamiento normal de las fuentes permanece sin cambios.
